Crime at Bedtime

When Colorado mom Kristil Krug started receiving threatening messages from an ex-boyfriend she hadn't seen in twenty years, she did everything right. She documented the harassment, reported it to police, installed security cameras, and even hired a private investigator. For two months, the stalker sent increasingly violent threats, claiming to watch her every move and sending photos of her husband arriving at work.

On December 14th, 2023, just eleven days before Christmas, Kristil was found bludgeoned and stabbed to death in her garage. The investigation into her ex-boyfriend's whereabouts would lead to a shocking discovery: he had an airtight alibi and had never sent a single message.

So who was terrorizing Kristil Krug? The answer was closer than anyone could have imagined and the digital evidence would reveal a calculated deception that lasted months.

Tonight on Crime at Bedtime, we uncover the truth behind Kristil Krug's murder.

In December 2021, Tom Phillips vanished into the dense New Zealand wilderness with his three children—Jayda, Maverick, and Ember—triggering a nearly four-year manhunt that gripped the nation. Using his expert survival skills and knowledge of the rugged Waikato region, Phillips evaded police, elite military trackers, and an $80,000 reward while allegedly committing armed robberies to survive. The search ended violently in September 2025 when Phillips was killed in a shootout with police after breaking into a rural supply store, critically wounding an officer. His three children were found safe at a remote campsite and returned to their mother. This is the extraordinary true story of obsession, survival, and the tragic end of New Zealand's most wanted father.

Four hostages. One armed robber. Six days inside a Stockholm bank vault.

What unfolded in Sweden in 1973 wasn’t just a crime. It was a psychological phenomenon the world had never seen before.

As police surrounded the bank and negotiations dragged on, the hostages began to fear law enforcement more than the man holding them captive. They refused to testify against him. They defended his actions. They even raised money for his legal defence.

This baffling response would later be labelled Stockholm Syndrome.

In this Crime at Bedtime episode, we reconstruct the infamous Stockholm bank robbery step by step. The robber’s plan, the police missteps, the emotional pressure inside the vault, and the aftermath that reshaped psychology, hostage negotiation, and criminal profiling forever.

In May 2013, Hamilton father Tim Bosma advertised his pickup truck for sale and agreed to let two men take it for a test drive. He never came home. What began as a routine sale quickly turned into one of Canada’s most disturbing modern murder cases.

In this episode of Crime at Bedtime, we walk through the final night Tim was seen alive, the frantic search that followed, and the investigation that led police to wealthy heir Dellen Millard and his friend Mark Smich. Step by step, we follow how a missing-persons case became a homicide investigation, what came out in court, and how the evidence revealed a planned and senseless killing over a truck.

If you’re drawn to Canadian true crime, cases built on digital trails and witness timelines, and stories that start with something as ordinary as answering an online ad, settle in and let the Tim Bosma story unfold.
